We
had a nice treat this morning in the garden of a Firecrest, it seem to be
following a Treecreeper along our bank, we managed to watch it for a minutes
then it dropped behind a shrub. 30 seconds later it flew out and almost hit the
window we were sitting at, it hovered in front of us for a few seconds showing
the colours in its crest before flying back to the shrubs.
Also
of interest was 2 small bats (pipistrelles) flying the edge of the woods
yesterday late afternoon (4 o'clockish). In the past we have found them
hibernating in the garage and stables but not seen them out this late in the
year.
I
wish everyone a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
